The Fair Access to Legal Counsel Act amends federal law to expand the appointment of counsel for low-income litigants proceeding in forma pauperis (without paying court fees) in federal civil cases. The bill requires courts to inform litigants of their right to request counsel and establishes detailed factors courts must consider when evaluating such requests, including the litigant's ability to navigate the case, factual complexity, and whether the opposing party has counsel. The bill also requires biennial reporting to Congress on the outcomes and effects of counsel appointments under this provision.
